OXFORD, Ohio (AP)—Michael Bramos scored 34 points, including a late 3-pointer
and layup during a decisive 8-0 run, as Miami beat Kent State 68-63 Sunday
afternoon.

The win kept Miami (16-11, 9-5 Mid-American) within a game of Bowling Green
and Buffalo in the conference’s East Division.

The RedHawks led narrowly for most of the second half until Kent State’s Al
Fisher hit a 3-pointer with 4:54 remaining to give the Golden Flashes a 56-54
lead. Fisher’s free throw a minute later put Kent State back in front after a
brief tie.

Bramos followed with his 3-pointer and layup and Tyler Dierkers added a
3-pointer to make it 64-57 with 1:46 left. From there, Kent State could only
manage a layup by Justin Greene.
